Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars is a bit of a departure from the original - ditching all of the block smashing and vehicle riding in favor of a more straightforward move-right-and-jump-over-stuff approach.

 Alex kidd: In miracle world - MasterSystem Emulator Review
Alex Kidd was received so well by the gamesplayers, that SEGA later released two sequels for the Master System, and an all new Alex Kidd for the SEGA MegaDrive however, Alex kidd in miracle world was the first in the series, but was it the best?
The basic idea of Alex Kidd is simple, you have to find the levels exit, without getting killed, it's that simple, yet as you can guess, theres various obstacles between you and the levels exit.
Alex Kidd follows a sort of RPG storyline, where you have to save your friends, and it comes with a rather mysical feel.

 Alex Kidd in High-Tech World Information
Alex Kidd in High Tech World was a side-scroller in the Alex Kidd series, created for the Sega Master System.
These alterations cause a plot-hole in the Alex Kidd universe, as this game features an apppearance of Alex's father in the very beginning, whereas his father was still missing until being found at the end of Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle.
It can be declared that Alex Kidd was simply placed into this game regardless of his previous (and future) adventures and storyline, and therefore this game should not be regarded as part of the main storyline.

 NTSC-uk Features > Classic Game Series: Alex Kidd
Alex uses his famous ‘Shellcore’ technique to shatter rocks along the way and receives monetary reward as a result — these funds can then be spent on items such as a motorcycle and pedal-powered helicopter.
Alex can also make use of a pogo stick, but as was the case in the Master System original these items never really become essential and the game can be beaten easily without them.
While it’s true that the Alex Kidd series wasn’t up to the same high standard of Mario (or his stable mate Sonic, for that matter) it could have easily been revitalized with a proper 16-bit update.

 IGN: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (Virtual Console) Review
Alex was the playable hero of several early Sega adventures, like Alex Kidd in Miracle World, and Alex Kidd in High-Tech World – games that launched on Sega's 8-bit Master System.
Alex learns that his father, King Thor, has been kidnapped and is being held captive on the planet Paperock – so he sets off to save him with his flying fists and feet.
Alex himself, actually, is only good for one hit – just grazing a baddie is enough to send you back to the start of any level.

 Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle for Wii Review - Wii Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle Review
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle is a crummy jump-and-punch action romp that was already obsolete when it was first published nearly 20 years ago.
Alex's last hurrah was Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, which was originally published in 1989 for the Sega Genesis and is now available for play through the Wii's Virtual Console service.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World is one of those games that didn't suffer from this common flaw.
Alex can't hit them, but has to oppose them by playing paper-rock-scissors, which are callend "Jankenmatches" (I believe 'Janken' is the Japanse word for the game).
Alex Kidd in Miracle World is noticeable for being a 22 years old game that is still as playable now as it was when it was first released.

 Kid Fenris: Missing Mascots: Alex Kidd
Alex had a motorcycle, a motorboat, and other vehicles to ride, and instead of jumping on his foes, he simply punched them.
Alex’s didn’t get a chance as a true mascot until 1990, when the Sega Master System II, a smaller and simpler revision of the original, was released with Miracle World as its built-in game.
It was not, however, particularly new territory for Alex, and the game’s cute tone didn't fit in with the grittier arcade ports and sports titles in the Genesis stable.

There is no denying that Alex Kidd was Sega's answer to the popular Mario series.
Alex fought baddies with a really large fist and beat bosses by playing "Janken" (rock-paper-scissors) with them.
Alex also had a flying cane, a motorcycle, and a heli-bike which he could buy at various shops along the way.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This Kidd may look weird with his giant ears and odd red overalls but you wouldn't wanna meet this guy in a dark alley because he has been training for years to have the ability to break rocks with his bare hands.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World gets off to a really great start because the intro itself shows you a lot of the cool things you can do in this huge adventure like swimming, boating, flying, fighting the evil Janken the Great, and that's just a few of the fun things you get to do here.
If you have the original Alex Kidd IMW button 2 is jump and button 1 is punch which can be confusing if you are use to other action games like Wonderboy but you get use to it.
